Hi, some advice please.

I recently purchased a pair of cordless earbuds. If I were to purchase an identical second pair would my device (phone) recognise each one separately or would I have a problem.

I'd think the earbuds would show up with the same designation on the phone as available devices, eg it might show 2 x Bud33 and I wouldn't know which was which, or would the phone recognise there are two and number them separately?

Additionally if I had one pair paired to my phone and my wife had another identical pair paired to hers might we have a situation where we are receiving each others sounds (music etc).

I suppose the simple answer would be don't have two pairs of identical bluetooth earbuds in the same household?

Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks to both of you I hadn't realised that bluetooth items could be renamed.

Thanks again
 
Worried about the Mrs accidentally hearing what you're watching during your alone time hey? ;)

No, I'm currently using Mpow earbuds to listen to Radio 4's Today programme whilst laying in bed and a pair of Sanlepus B1 when out walking. The Sanlepus are much more comfortable than the Mpow (wire between the two earpieces).

I can vouch for the Mpow being waterproof even after a 40 minute mixed wash in a Bosh washing machine. Fortunately I didn't try them in the tumble dryer!
